A Message to the Mount Ida College Community

Castleton University and Mount Ida College have enjoyed respectful competition on the playing fields for more than a decade thanks to their previous affiliation with the North Atlantic Conference and the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference.

"We were saddened to hear that Mount Ida will be closing its doors, and our thoughts are with all of the displaced faculty, staff, and students," said Dean of Enrollment Maurice Ouimet. "We stand ready to build off the mutual respect and camaraderie that has been cultivated through our competition, and hope to provide Mount Ida students a seamless transition."

All Mount Ida students who are seeking to transfer this fall will benefit from Castleton’s flexible transfer process, generous financial aid awards, and in some cases even Vermont resident tuition.
